SEC Coaches Not As Likely To Move On

With the prominence of the SEC at a time when College Football is arguably the second most popular sport in the country has changed the decision making process for those coaches contemplating moving on. I think Franklin would be gone after this year if it was 5 for 10 years ago. We're paying him supposedly over 3 mil, so you take salary out of the equation and it is a very difficult decision. Les, 10 years ago would have gone back to Michigan. The typical successful Ky, Miss St, Ole Miss, Vandy coach has a much more difficult call to make. I think the prestige, cash, competition has made these jobs more desirable and more difficult to leave.

I get what you mean... but pretty soon this phenomenon peaks and big fish in a small pond effect comes in.

I will say it with the way the SEC is structured as of now and the landscape that is College Football I find it will be a harder decision to leave these Mid/Low level SEC schools than it used to be in the past.
With that being said ... it would have to be schools like Bama, UGA, UF, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Southern Cal, Oklahoma, etc. to entice these moves IMO.

My point exactly. Vandy has taken money out of the equation for Franklin. He loves being in the SEC. It is his whole recruiting pitch. World class education and play college football in the best conference. He is the only coach that can say that and I think it would be hard for him to give that up.

Vandy IMO is poised to be the Stanford of the SEC and the premier University of Tennessee.

Not even close. Vandy and Stanford have virtually nothing in common besides being great private academic schools. But even at academics, Stanford is on a different level of prestige. Believe it or not, but Stanford has a ton of winning tradition, a Heisman winner, one of the most beautiful campuses in America, great facilities, etc....

Learn this first.
Now that you have done that, what I mean is that Vandy can be the school in that offers the best education in the conference and the chance to play football in the best conference as well.
The Best Academics + The Best Football =
A very powerful recruiting tool and a lot of potential to shake things up in the SEC.

Yes, Franklin could be gone tomorrow. But regardless, Vandy ain't no patsy anymore. We have stadium expansion on the way and a new indoor practice facility. Vandy has also demonstrated the will to pay any coach a competitive salary. And by the way, I do believe Franklin stays because no other SEC school or SEC city offers more advantages than Vandy and Nashville.

Unfortunately, I don't think a success story like Stanford can happen in the SEC. Just too athletically competitive here to get away with something sneaky like not recruiting mostly dumb players.

You have more coaches from outside the SEC using their agents to check on openings in the SEC. There is a time coming when there are no bad jobs in the SEC, and we may already be there.
The SEC is boss.

Each school has it''s advantages. Outside of academics And the city of Nashville Vandy doesn't offer much.

Outside of football, what does LSU or Bama offer? Good looking women, social scene, bars, money? I'd be confident in saying Vandy offers equal or better in all of those things, maybe not as many women due to the fact that its smaller, but you have 1,000,000 people in Nashville to choose from.

Not sure if your serious.

100% serious.
"Each school has it''s advantages. Outside of academics And the city of Nashville Vandy doesn't offer much."
Academics and Nashville are probably Vandy's two biggest selling points. If you take the two biggest selling points from all of the other schools, none of them have much to offer that differentiates them from the rest of the SEC.
Tell me what any other school has that Vandy can't provide outside of a winning football tradition. I'm not going to listen to you talk about women's athletics or any of the other small sports.
